Inside Fergus Dog Park: Ontario’s Four-Acre Playground

Aside from mowing the field and some rather zealous weed-whacking, improvements included the addition of benches, garbage cans, a water pump, donated agility equipment, more trees and the covering of the walking paths with mulch. The location itself is perfect, as it sits on the very edge of town. It is not near homes or roads, and thus has been left unfenced. Through the years, a true sense of local pride has developed within the community in maintaining the park’s beautiful, natural environment for people and dogs alike to enjoy.

Not only do locals attend but also others who’ve heard of this amazing dog park. One dog, Nort, comes from as far away as New York City whenever her person is in town visiting relatives. And from watching her running and playing, I just bet she’s thinking: “This is the best vacay ever!”
